Membership

The society welcomes anyone working professionally within human
genetics in the UK. People who are not based in the UK can become
overseas affiliates; they are not eligible for election to the
council, but otherwise enjoy the same privileges as full
members.

Genetic testing can play an important role in the care and
treatment of children, for example, as part of the diagnostic
process when children present with particular health problems, or
to determine whether surveillance strategies might be
beneficial.
